---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lee, Pamela A <pamela.a.lee(a)bankofamerica.com> Date: Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 2:48 PM Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Mickaboo holiday party (12/4, tomorrow!) - directions To: discuss(a)mickaboo.org Here’s a map which may help people figure out where the party is. With reference to this online PDF: * http://www.alamedacountyfair.com/images/buildings/Internal_Grounds_Color_Ma… *<http://www.alamedacountyfair.com/images/buildings/Internal_Grounds_Color_Ma…> The party is at 4501 Pleasanton Avenue, Pleasanton, CA. This address is that for the “administration” building, marked as W in the lower right of the map. Main parking (free!) is in the grey area marked P in the lower right. After parking, walk to the Yellow Gate (next to the W in the lower right). A guard in the shack there will point you to the party location. You’ll be walking along the line which starts from the Yellow Gate as yellow, then turns red. The Palm Pavilion is the building marked J. There will be a sign pointing it out – that, and the merriment coming from the building itself, will say you’re in the right place. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

OT: KRON 4 TV story about live animals at farmers' market-need phone calls
by Elizabeth Young 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

MANY of the chickens, quail and chukars that Mickaboo helps to save from shelter euthanasia come from this twice-weekly market in SF. And, after they end this cruelty, I'm very hopeful that they will turn their attention to the heartbreak of all the baby king pigeons sold live for home-slaughter at the age of 4 weeks (that keep me & MickaCoo SO busy). ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andrew Zollman <andrew(a)lgbtcompassion.org> Date: Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 10:05 PM Subject: KRON 4 TV story about live animals at farmers' market-need phone calls To: adoptkings(a)gmail.com Dear Animal Advocate, Several weeks ago, the Dept. of Public Health held a hearing with the U.N. Plaza Farmers’ market manager Christine Adams and live poultry vendor Raymond Young to give them their final warning to comply with health laws, or have their permits revoked. We’ve been since documenting and reporting flagrant and defiant continued, while patiently waiting for the Health Dept. to proceed with enforcement. Last night, KRON 4 TV’s Stanley Roberts ran a news story about violations of the “no live animals in the market” law, which should put more pressure on the Health Dept. You may watch the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxB8IqITh1U. This would be a terrific time for people to contact the health department to complain about the health violations, to further pressure them to enforce the laws and revoke the permits. You can reach them at (415) 252-3800 from 8 am to 5 pm. (Don’t worry about the future of the market itself – if the permit for the current nonprofit management organization is revoked, management would simply change over to the city’s Real Estate Division.) Also, it would be good to post comments on the YouTube video’s page!

. . .we also received a wonderful pet sitting gift certificate from Greenman Pet Services (serving San Jose, Campbell, or Santa Clara), and a Reiki session in Pacifica. There are too many to list here. The goodies just keep comin'! I have received a few inquiries about pre-bidding. I have a full list of items that you can preview upon request. If you want details on a given item, I can then provide them with the retail price and minimum bid amount. You give me your top price, and I'll do my best to make sure your bid gets on the sheet up to your maximum amount. You may be outbid, of course. That's why you should come to the party! ;-) -Margie ________________________________ From: Margie Gear <margiegear(a)yahoo.com> To: discuss(a)mickaboo.org; MickaCoo(a)mickaboo.org Sent: Thu, December 2, 2010 9:06:53 AM Subject: Silent Auction Update Hi everyone - This is a reminder that we will be having an incredible Silent Auction at the holiday party this Saturday.
